John Staley Jr., left Caro- Tuesday
for Grayilng to embark In the bank
ing aud real estate business at that
place. In Mr.. Staley's departure from
Caro-, our village sustains a genuine
loss. For years he has been one of our
most prominent and public spirited
citizens and the likes of him has made
Caro- what 1t is to-day. He came TO
the county of Tuscola 20 years ago,
was elected supervisor of Akron town
ship six years in succession, was coun-
ty surveyor two years, and twice elect
ed register of deeds, was appointed
register of the probate court by Judge
johnson, served until the Judges
death, and also wrote up a complete
abstract of the county. Some time
ago Mr.. Staley's health began to fail
him, and. thinking that perhaps n
change of location might be beneficial
TO him, he decided TO make change.
In common with our citizens at large,
while lamenting his departure, we bid
him God speed and prosperity in his
new field of labor. --CGyo JeGersontan.

Taxation OF Rairrontls.

The importance Of the decision by the |
court of errors and appeals last week in
the county tax injunction case of Patrick
Neary VS.. the Philadelphia, Wilmington
& Baltimore Railroad Company, can
hardly be over stated. The specific sum
at issue was not large-only matter of
$27l.41 tax on the appellants road-hed,
which the county has been perpetually
enioined from collecting. But the real
amount involved is thousands of dollars
of city as we'll as county revenue.
The decision of the majority OF the
court is that the act Of 1879 (the benefit
of which has by subsequent legislation
been extended to all railroads in the
State empowers the P, W & B. Railroad
Company to commute by the payment OF
SAC, 900 annually for oil taxes. Though
the decision dealt only with a specific
claim for county tax, it, by the plainest
implication, invalidates all taxation, mu-
nicipai as we'll as county, of road-hed,
real estate or any other property, fran
chise or attribute of railroads in this
State g In lieu of all taxes is the Ian
guage of the act and the highest tribunal
Of the State has construed these words
in their broadcast significance.
This decision wipes out absolutely from
$4,000 to Sl4 600 of revenue which hac
accrued TO New Castle county the arrear
ages Of two years taxation Of railroad
property. The county has been leyyinl
tax on all real estate Of the railroad com
panies; their road-beds as we'll as thei
depots, workshops and other buildings
The city has limited taxation to the othe
real estate and has not attempted to To
their road beds. Thus far the city hi
lost nothing by the railroads so far as y
are informed, but the prospective reyent
Of $4,000 from this source, payable
June next, is made uncolleotible by Il
Interpretation of the law.
Fortunately the decision comes at
time when legislation to remedy this u
expected turn of affairs is attainab

reference to this, and the City Coun
and levy court should unitedly take
hint and promptly act upon it. j.
what remedial legislation should
sought is matter to be considered,
what appears to be IAN unexceptionN
mode" of restoring the statu quo al
will be to repeal the act Of 1s
This would restore the operation of
act of 1864 and of the amended act
1889 which fifteen years ago were bri
ing nearly $50, 900 annually into the 81
treasury from the p, W. & B. Compa
receipts, it is reasonable to assume, I
would be much enhanced at the pres
time. Having accomplished this
State would be in a position to negot
another Communication act devoid of
injurious feature Of the existing law.
